1970 Nova SS 396/375hp, p/s, Forest Green, Exterior Decor Pkg., black deluxe bench seat interior. Those are Mohawk Super-Mag 60 tires with Cragars...you can see the traction bars hanging down.

I really thought this photo was lost...glad I sorted thru the trash a second time :tongue:

Very cool picture!
glad you found it. Funny for me, the trailer to the right of the car says Lafayette Radio. I used to work for them! Thanks for the throw-back!!

Thought I share a few of my Sequoia Green 72. I bought it from the original owner in 1989 for 1750.00 He ordered it from the Chevrolet dealership that was right at the end of his street in Claremont NH. It was a 307, 3speed floor shift, radio delete, heavy duty battery and front suspension. It was my daily driver for about 4 year and hot rodded it over the course of 15 or so years. I sold it a while back but have a soft 68 to 72 Nova's. My very first car was a 72 6 cylinder. I've owned a 68 and currently have a 70 that I'm very slowly picking away at.

Can't beat a Nova. My '71 SS. Currently running a pump gas 461, M20 and a 12 bolt with 3.73's. Have a set of 074's and a Auto Gear M23z on the bench ready to go.

Thank you Jay. It's not going to win the Riddler Award at Autorama but rather it's a fun driver
but can certainly be a handful with those skinny Goodyears on it if you put your foot in it in first or second. I have a second set of Wheel Vintiques 15" SS replicas with a 275 Nitto on the back. It fits but it is tight!

Black Nova...
 
Killer looking Nova
